Hi I have ICICI MMT card with limit 5.1L which HDFC card can I apply via C2C someone already said to go for Regalia with LTF do I have any other different option mainly for International Lounge and would prefer LTF cards as my other spends are not that much

I had similar case, I was told by the CC person that I could get LTF Regalia or DC Privilege card on C2C basis as I was having 6L Credit limit on my ICICI MMT Platinum Credit card.

Applied for LTF DC Privilege with MMT credit card statement but they approved LTF Millennia as "it didn't meet the internal criteria of the bank" 😆

I went the CC guy who processed my application... He showed the Data which he had at the time and the same was also confirmed by the Branch Manager. The data said that customer could apply for LTF DC Privilege if Credit limit was 4L+ at that time on any other Credit card. They just said that if the backend team did this, they couldn't help but made sure that the card was LTF.

I was not having any other relationship with HDFC at that time so that too might have caused this downgrade 😛

After 1 year of opening HDFC Account and upgrading to Imperia account by maintaining balance, I now have offer for Regalia on FYF... so pushing my RM to make that LTF!

Best of luck for you application!

[federer.reddevil]

2L for me initially, got increased to 5L in 3 months

I will settle for 2L just hope I get that its just for one or 2 costly purchase a year

Also is it DC variant or VISA variant and does it have any Lounge access?

Millennia CC is always VISA afaik.... Diners Club cards are only Black and Privilege one (once more I think. not sure)

Rest all are either VISA/Mastercard

Is your spends in the last 6 months around 4-5 lakhs?
Is your existing card more than 6 months old?

If its Yes for both, you can request for DCB. Very high chances that you will get it.

Thanks for the info, didn't knew about it...

btw, are you able to get 5% cashback on Amazon ?? As I heard long time back that Amazon doesn't accept DC cards (and IRCTC)

 

[NOOBY]

yes. monthly spend 6 lakhs. This is an upgraded card 6 month back. Original card is 5yr+

If your monthly is 6L+, you might get LTF DCB too

 

[vprajnya]

yes. monthly spend 6 lakhs. This is an upgraded card 6 month back. Original card is 5yr+

You can try requesting for Infinia, if its denied then ask for DCB.
They might upgrade you directly to Infinia.
No harm is taking a chance.

Last week, I got by DCB upgraded to Infinia,
below are the complete details of How got Infinia,
> I was having a Regalia Credit card for exactly 2years since Jan 2020.
in Jan 2022 once my credit limit is increased to 5L, I applied for DCB by sending a request to the Chennai office and got it approved.
from then on, I was spending almost 1L+ every month using my DCB card and in the last 3- 4 Months I was almost spending 80-90 % of my credit limit.

During 2nd week of October, my credit limit increased to 10.2 L from 5.4,
Once by Credit Limit is increased to 10L+ I have sent a mail to "Grievance.Redressalcc@hdfcbank.com" requesting an upgrade to Infinia.

They just took a few conformations(on Reward rate conversion and FYF with annual charges for Infinia) and asked me to send the scanned copy of the CC upgrade form over the mail, within a week I got a mail from the team that my Infinia Metal card is approved with FYF.

Send a letter by courier/post the HDFC chennai address. Letter should say that you are facing difficulties due to DCB acceptance issues and you want to continue using HDFC card so requesting Infinia. Attach the upgrade request form.

Yeah, someone shared their DC Millennia CC pic... But never heard of Rupay

If there is Rupay variant, I will gladly shift to that
